A guy has told me ‘I’m his sexual fantasy’?

[Anonymous]

Context.. I started speaking to a guy online, he was helping me with a project in a group chat, I went to him with any and all questions & he was super helpful. We became friends and occasionally messaged the ‘hey how are you’ he started to take an interest in my personal life (family, work, giving advice etc) but overall most contact was in regards to our hobby. Well today, he said to me that I was his ‘sexual fantasy’ and ‘he wants me’. We are both in long term relationships & have never met. This is rather confusing and I’m not sure how to handle this situation, can our friendship continue?

No, you cannot be friends with a guy who's lusting after you when you both are in a relationship!

[JamesRandiDebates]

You never had a friendship. He was playing the long game on you all along.

I understand, I’m just confused as I’ve showed absolutely no interest in this guy (love potential, sexually) I’m not sure what’s motivated it and how to deal with it going forward. The male brain is a confusing, fascinating place 😂

[JamesRandiDebates]

Should probably just ghost him.

[Asker]

Yeah, I think it’s for the best.

He is a man, he probably says that to every girl.

[Asker]

Yes, I’m guessing that. Just came out of the blue so I was confused 😂

Ask your boyfriend what you should do.

My partner knows we spoke occasionally, we were all on the group chat. This isn’t something I’ve encouraged or expected. It’s completely out of the blue & I wasn’t sure on how to deal with it other than just not replying (which I haven’t done)

The proper response for me would be to shut that shit HARD, and immediately. Not relying won't discourage him too much.
